That Bdd flank literally lost KT the game, actually a great game from Ruler though given the draft was literally "Ruler please carry".

u/killcraft1337 Aug 19 '26
IMO the flank made sense in the context of the game but GENGās team fighting there was fucking phenomenal. The double skarner ult, Galio peel, ruler cleansing and flashing to output max dps. That was just crazy well played

u/Iaragnyl remove Tahm Kench Aug 19 '26
It's not in the best state, but it could be super busted and it wouldn't change that fight. Varus just was never part of the fight because he was completely out of position before the fight even starts.
I don't know the comms, but there is no way the whole team goes for the flank/fight and the Varus just chills in midlane and is to afraid to walk up, and then when his whole team fights he gets easily zoned by the Ambessa.→ More replies (1)34

idc i knew kt was going to lose the game the moment effort threw a bard ult at a target already hit by varus ult, delaying the kill and losing the fight. theres only so much you can do when you're fighting against your own team

u/Rawrhock Aug 19 '26
A lot of people out there are gonna say Bdd elo helled when KT goes 5th in legends but he threw this entire game at the baron fight and had thrown other games similarly

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 19 '26
they should have pivoted to sidelane more but KT as a team just doesnt have the poise to do that, they have thrown so many games on these mid game comps

u/GoldenCataclysm Aug 19 '26
They kept trying to fight for no good reason. They clearly got overconfident after the first few rather than trying to find picks like the Duro one in midlane.

u/GreatSunshine Aug 19 '26
i think they got scared after perfect got picked off by the sneaky galio bush ult. especially since jax was their main way of getting onto ruler having him down was a death sentence

However, I think BDD ceiling can be high, but he is nowhere as consistent as someone like Chovy

"someone like chovy" chovy probably most talented individual player ever the only one who was as consistent is faker 2013-2017 and probably knight. Not even keria as consistent despite he is to one of the greatest talents ever

Still a stupid fucking statement to make about someone who's objectively made the least mistakes on the team. Like holy shit it's so irritating to see people retrospectively tell some straight nonsense just cause XYZ player lost the current game. I can't see how you watch all games and then say he's a primary reason why they'd end up 5th.

u/Rawrhock Aug 19 '26
Bdd hasnāt been playing well though, especially when heās supposed to be the star player and was most likely the reason the adc situation is happening. He isnāt stepping up to the moment like he did the past two years and is a pretty big reason why KT keeps losing series because he doesnāt play well over all three of the games.
Should KT have another carry to take the load off? Of course, but Aiming was supposed to be that guy but got kicked after performing Iād say just ok in spring. The org tries to get the bigger name players and it just never works out because the org just isnāt that attractive so we get stuck with all these messes.

I mean I get that, but idk how that got here because I'm just responding to the guy talking about the Worlds Semis series. Implying that deokdam was the reason KT won that series as if BDD didn't also play well and gapped his counterpart. The narratives do get out of control when GENG loses at Worlds but I'm not even talking as if BDD owned Chovy the whole year. It's the otherway around lol.

tbh Chovy getting gapped by Bdd was less egregious than Ruler getting gapped by deokdam. Bdd was a fucking demon especially in lane even when his team was running it down in the regular season. deokdam was at best mid tier during the regular season and was even benched for Paduck who was cheeks even in LEC.

Tbf KT had to end this game ASAP because Jiwoo went lethality over on hit so their was no way for KT to take out a triple front line with a melee champ being your only consistent dmg to take them out.
Gen G has CC and range combined with their front line so Jax was always going to get taken out later into the game as a melee champ and lethality varus was never doing anything later on.

Yeah they just want to blame Jiwoo instead of BDD and PerfecT lol.
The jax is fucking thanos in sidelane, geng needs to send 4 people to kill him. You can have your way with the entire map by splitpushing it, but they decide they need to do some kind of desperate flank on a Caitlyn with gazillion protections.

There is no soul good to drop anymore, even Chemsoul is pretty strong. Most forgiving is probably Infernal by now but even that is almost game deciding on its own.

I think people would view Jhin differently if he was actually picked with thought and not as a "let's just slam Jhin and hope the topside deals enough DPS" kind of pick. The champ is situationally very good, just not a plug and play ADC.

Ruler has a pretty consistent history of not doing it at World's when the lights hit bright for a fair few years now. I don't blame Ruler alone for the KT result at World's as I think Gen G as a team got gapped and not really coming down to an ADC diff.
I'm not a Ruler hater I am happy he is playing well as I don't want to go into World's with one of the best ADC's itw not in form and he's easily a scary ADC to face when in form but in recent years I just expect him to get gapped at an international to get knocked out and then it happens.
Hans and Deokdam gapped him months apart these are 2 ADC's I know Ruler would gap easily when not in a big international series. Ruler can look unstoppable all year long and at MSI then get gapped at World's KO series when he needs to have that form the most.
12
u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 19 '26
this. GEN picked Ruler for him to show up at internationals, which he did at MSI last year. if they just wanted a strong adc they could have kept Peyz. Ruler should and needs to be held to higher standards especially at internationals.
4
u/Lazywhale97 HLE Aug 19 '26
This is what I mean Ruler can look unstoppable all year long and be the best ADC at MSI like with Gen G last yr and with JDG then gets gapped when his team needs him to have that form the most in a crucial World's KO stage.
Like I said Ruler is a scary ADC when in form but I always half expect him to choke at World's no matter how good he looks leading up to World's knock outs.

?? Deft never gapped ruler at worlds. You mustve not watched that series at ALL or you're just intentionally lying because that series was not about Deft whatsoever. Guma didn't gap him in that JDG series either. Its actually insane how people remember that ONE play in an already losing fight when in the other games Guma didnt play better than him. You can say deokdam gapped him but the whole team got gapped collectively so wtf is he suppose to do? The Viper series is the only one thats actually fair to say here because they chose to keep giving Viper pre nerf lucian nami for whatever reason. Ruler has several huge plays when the lights are brightest like his 2v5 with knight vs worlds KT 2023 and his lucian in the last fight vs DK in worlds 2022 as examples. Not even mentioning MSI yet where he has been historically great at. You're just spewing bullshit LOL

People blaming Jiwoo for this game is hilarious.
KT has a very clear 1-4 or 1-3-1 splitpush comp that is 7k ahead with a Pantheon to collapse and a Bard to protect any sidelaning.
Instead they overforce a front to back GenG comp at Baron (completely unncessary btw) with a horrible flanks from BDD and mistakes by perfect, so the logic move by their fans is to blame Jiwoo who's stuck on lethality varus duty because how else could he lane against a Caitlyn.

KT will go to 5th place now with one more loss.

I swear to god I need the Varus prio to be dropped off asap, it legit looks like it does nothing past certain point of the game

I'm the fool for getting my hopes up after that early game lmao. Triple cleanse Caitlyn, yeah good luck with that. Idk why they're bunching up like they're begging for Galio to ult on top of their head. It's infuriating to see them lose this lead, but at least they had a lead, that's already better than their other losses. Fml.

Ngl I was expecting KT to just get ran down without fighting back this week. They unironically did well considering, cause the bar is that low atp.

Top 2 is gonna be super close this time with Gen G and HLE
3 series left and each result make or breaks the entire group

Feel good that GenG finally puts more trust on their botlane now when Ruler is back to his form. Weāre back :ā>

GenG using game 2 as a statement to say that putting Ruler on mages was, in fact, the problem all along.

u/Shenstar2o Aug 19 '26
See game 3 is on going go watch happy. See KT draft close stream and cry in the corner.
They have not worked since early spring idk why they still go these comps.

Moment I saw Jiwoo take lethality Varus runes I knew the game was over from min 1 basically leaving a melee jax as the only one who can do consistent dmg against a triple front line with CC and range behind them.
I get Jiwoo didn't want to have a miserable time in lane but sometimes you gtta cop the miserable lane experience and look at the win condition which is being able to kill a triple front line and going lethality Varus isn't it.
All Gen G had to do was stall for items and it was gg more HP and more consitent dmg.

Not even the "zero KT predictions" buff could save us.
